We do not Sow!

After the epically long post about my cats, I know have a pretty short post about the new square on The Blanket of Doom.

I decided to go back to the Game of Thrones-verse because my husband really does love that show and the books. I originally intended to do the Targaryen symbol with the three headed dragon because that seems to be a popular choice. But then my husband started mentioning the Greyjoys and how much he liked them. So I looked them up and discovered that their symbol is a kraken. A kraken! That's awesome! It's almost good enough to get me watching the show.

I went back to i crochet things who had made the amazing Stark direwolf chart I used earlier in the blanket and, lo and behold, she had also made a Greyjoy's one - on the very same page as the Stark one. So the kraken had to be done.

Square number 23: Game of Thrones: The Greyjoy's symbol.

As ever, just click on the light blue links to take you to the correct page for the chart. And while you're there, check out the other great crochet patterns. It's definitely worth a look.

Housework is done so now I can sit down with a cup of coffee and show you square number two of the Blanket of Doom.

For this square I wanted to do something from Game of Thrones as the husband has read all of the books (so far) and loves the TV series. The challenge was finding something which fit into a 45x57 square. Then I stumbled across the amazing i crochet things They've made a bunch of charts for the Game of Throne houses and they are brilliant; you really should check them out by following the link below.

I decided to go with The House of Stark design in grey and cream. The design is actually 44 stitches across so I knocked a stitch off the backend of the direwolf so that it fits the size I need, leaving one stitch in the background colour on either side of the wolf.
